Honoring Creative Genius
They enchant us, surprise us and serve us. We don’t understand them, yet we marvel at their extraordinary creations and discoveries. They are the world’s creative geniuses.
They come from every background, culture, nationality, occupation, religion, and age. Trying to find mysterious commonalities in their personalities is futile; creative genius is as diverse as the work it produces.
Creative genius is revealed in all forms of art, invention, scientific breakthrough, philosophy, business, medicine, engineering, and even sports. Virtually every endeavor has its pioneers and gifted souls who transform how we think, feel and live our lives.
If brilliance is so elusive, how can we learn from these creative and artistic souls?
Read first-person essays of extraordinary individuals to learn how they view the mysteries of the creative impulse. First person narratives of creative geniuses will teach you far more about the nature of creativity than academia’s top research papers on the topic.
A book like The Creative Process: Reflections on the Invention in the Arts and Sciences, edited by Brewster Ghiselin, illuminates personal reflections on creativity by geniuses like Einstein, Mozart, Kipling, Henry Miller, and Jung.
We have a lot to learn from creative geniuses. Honor them, learn from them and emulate them to discover the creative genius within yourself.
